Okapi
—a lipogram
un—verse, un—verse hurt clusters, sewn—sutured
we were the end’s veneers, yet even the end deserted us
chewed by nettles, deterred by reeds, we relented
we were the merest museum we’d ever shuttered
the smuggest event-less venue
sweet segments were squeezed, but we were unquenched
newly geysered, curfew blew
cement—the newer flesh—crumbled
meters were fed, but we weren’t
Everest-leery, buddy-led, we centers turned edges
we shelters turned chutes
